I have also missed the site a lot. I did some detective work, and got
an answer from an Icelandic gentleman who had some information. With
his permission, I'll post his answer here.

TheWeatherOutlook carried data from them and I discussed commercial
ventures with them. The problem - and this is what many people on
uk.sci.weather do not or will not understand - was for most people the data
was too technical. I received a lot of e-mails asking what on earth the
graphs were supposed to be displaying. It was because of this I decided to
remove their data from the site, although as I said, personally I thought it
was excellent.
It's the old story - if you want to make a commercial proposition out of a
weather data site you've got to appeal to a much wider audience than the
'hardcore' enthusiasts. To do this you must make the stuff very easy to
understand.

For all fans of halo / theyr, here is the story about the site and the
man who realized his visions.

I do hope that he will find a way to get his brilliant application up
and running somehow. I would gladly pay a sum of money to be able to
use it.
Rgds,
Markku
